The Lightbulb

The cultural metaphor for an inspiration is the lightbulb,
But only the great ideas are incandescent or fluorescent.
These are uplifting,
Elevators out of grip-reach of grasping mediocrity.
I've heard it argued that inspiration strikes like a comet,
Violently and inevitably reshaping your world,
But I find that inspiration is like watching Jeopardy–
I learn the answer before I ask the question.
